Servings: 20
Ingredients
- 1 cup butter
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 2 eggs
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 1/2 cups flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp salt
- 2 cups chopped chocolate
- flaked sea salt
Instructions
- Put butter in a large pot. Heat over medium heat.
- Allow the butter to continue cooking, stirring often as it melts, then bubbles and foams. Scrape the sides and watch for it to get a nutty smell, and start to turn to an amber color. Remove from heat.
- Pour butter into a separate bowl and allow to sit for about 30 minutes.
- Cream together the butter (still melted) brown sugar, and sugar for 2-3 minutes until it starts to get smooth.
- Add in the eggs and vanilla extract and stir until just combined.
- Add in the flour, baking soda, and salt. Stir until combined.
- Fold in the chocolate chunks.
- Cover the dough and place it in the fridge to chill for 1 hour up to 24 hours.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- Scoop the cookie dough into 1/4 cup sized balls, and roll into balls. Place 8 on a cookie sheet.
- Bake for 9-11 minutes just until the edges start to turn golden and finished, the tops may not look set.
- Remove cookies from the oven and sprinkle flaked sea salt over the top if desired.
- Allow cookies to set on cookie sheets for 5 minutes before removing to a cooling rack to cool completely. (Or enjoy some hot)
